#============================================================================ # # AppConfig::Getopt.pm # # Perl5 module to interface AppConfig::* to Johan Vromans' Getopt::Long # module. Getopt::Long implements the POSIX standard for command line # options, with GNU extensions, and also traditional one-letter options. # AppConfig::Getopt constructs the necessary Getopt:::Long configuration # from the internal AppConfig::State and delegates the parsing of command # line arguments to it. Internal variable values are updated by callback # from GetOptions(). # # Written by Andy Wardley # # Copyright (C) 1997-2007 Andy Wardley.

AppConfig::Getopt is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle. =head1 DESCRIPTION =head2 USING THE AppConfig::Getopt MODULE To import and use the AppConfig::Getopt module the following line should appear in your Perl script: use AppConfig::Getopt; AppConfig::Getopt is used automatically if you use the AppConfig module and create an AppConfig::Getopt object through the getopt() method. AppConfig::Getopt is implemented using object-oriented methods. A new AppConfig::Getopt object is created and initialised using the new() method. This returns a reference to a new AppConfig::Getopt object. A reference to an AppConfig::State object should be passed in as the first parameter: my $state = AppConfig::State->new(); my $getopt = AppConfig::Getopt->new($state); This will create and return a reference to a new AppConfig::Getopt object. =head2 PARSING COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS The C method is used to read a list of command line arguments and update the state accordingly. The first (non-list reference) parameters may contain a number of configuration strings to pass to Getopt::Long::Configure. A reference to a list of arguments may additionally be passed or @ARGV is used by default. $getopt->parse(); # uses @ARGV $getopt->parse(\@myargs); $getopt->parse(qw(auto_abbrev debug)); # uses @ARGV $getopt->parse(qw(debug), \@myargs); See Getopt::Long for details of the configuartion options available. A Getopt::Long specification string is constructed for each variable defined in the AppConfig::State. This consists of the name, any aliases and the ARGS value for the variable. These specification string are then passed to Getopt::Long, the arguments are parsed and the values in the AppConfig::State updated. See AppConfig for information about using the AppConfig::Getopt module via the getopt() method. =head1 AUTHOR Andy Wardley, Eabw@wardley.orgE =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 1997-2007 Andy Wardley.
